  1. I appear to have developed an allergy to any uncooked/unprocessed
    vegetable matter. If I eat fruits, raw vegetables, or unfermented tea, my
    lips, mouth, and throat get itchy.

    Has anyone else experienced this, or do you have any thoughts or advice?
    It's very inconvenient. 🙁

    Do you buy organic produce? I had a friend who had similar symptoms
    especially when eating apples - washing them didnt work, she had to
    peel them. Seems she was allergic to whatever pesticides or wax was
    used on them and when she bought organic apples (no pesticides etc)she
    doesnt experience any probelm and can even eat the peel. Whenever I eat
    regular broccoli, either uncooked or cooked from whole form, I get a
    flu-like nausea but when I eat organic grown broccoli I experience no
    such symptoms, so I am assuming its something thats sprayed on that
    particular vegetable. Just a thought that pesticide residue might be
    the culprit.

    Hmm! I will do some tests and see if the organic stuff bothers me less.
    Thanks for the suggestion.
